While outdoorsy-sport watches can certainly come in handy, their "extreme" designs often preclude them from being worn with anything that isn't made from a stretchy material and doesn't wick away moisture. The Suunto Quest Black Watch ($250) is a refreshing exception, with a subdued design that will work fine as an everyday wearer. Of course, it packs plenty of useful features as well, including time, date, dual time, alarm, stopwatch, and interval timer functionality, the ability to monitor heart rate, speed, distance, running cadence, and laps in real time, the ability to share, plan, and analyze results online, and water resistance to 30 meters.

Odds are, if you drive a Porsche, you've probably grown quite attached to its spartan dashboard — so it only makes sense that you'd expect the same from a wristwatch. The Porsche Design P'6620 Dashboard Watch (€3,950, roughly $5,550) delivers thanks to its gauge-inspired dial, which boasts date, chronograph, and tachymeter functions, as well as its elongated, dedicated stop/stap buttons, sapphire crystal, water resistance of 330 feet, clear back, 44 millimeter size, and lightweight titanium case and bracelet that comes in sliver or a PVD-coated black.

We're not quite sure what's so "original" about it, but the utilitarian looks of the Victorinox Swiss Army Original Watch ($300) are enough to win us over anyway. Features include a Swiss analog quartz movement, a 40mm nylon fiber case with aluminum bezel, a shatter-resistant crystal, a date calendar, luminous hands, water resistance down to 330 feet, and a NATO-approved nylon strap.

Bundle up in style this winter with this Bonded Wool Summit Parka from Todd Snyder. Great for any cold weather outing, it's made using unlined, water repellent 500 gram Italian bonded wool to keep you dry and warm as you step out into the cold. Features include a detachable silver fox fur hood, a button-out full sleeve length quilted liner, horn buttons, and interior pockets that are accessible through the liner. There are also drawstrings at the hood and waist, along with adjustable cuffs to keep winter's chill at bay. It's a perfect outer layer for protection from the elements without compromising style in the process.

Since you're in bed for close to 3000 hours per year, you should probably prioritize your sheets a bit more. Brooklinen can help. They're a startup that is focused on taking your bedding game to the next level. Woven from 100% long-staple cotton, Brooklinen sheets are crisp, cool, and get better with every use. Keep it classic with all-white sheets, or mix-and-match to customize things to look exactly the way you want. It's time to make your whole bed feel like the cool side of the pillow.

You're not going to find a watch more minimal than this. The Mutewatch ($260) sits somewhere between a rubber bracelet and a touchscreen gadget, relying on a tap to activate it and swipes to cycle through its clock, alarm, and timer functions. Its motion sensor registers movement and automatically adjusts the strength of its vibration notifications, making sure you never miss an appointment. [Scouted by Levin, Brian & Nico]

Finally, a timepiece befitting vampires, demigods, and other immortals. The Urwerk UR-1001 Zeit Device ($TBA) goes above and beyond the average watch by offering you measurement of seconds, minutes, hours, day/night, date, month, and power on the crazily-complicated front face, and measurement of years, 100 years, and 1,000 years on the back, meaning it will last even wizards several generations before it sets itself back. Other features include a case made from Aluminum Titanium Nitride-coated steel, a pocket watch-style chain with handmade, heat-blackened steel links and a carabiner-style clasp, and a combined winder and display case made from polished walnut and buffalo leather lining.
